Repeat Shoplifter Jailed for £130 Tesco Theft
Denroy Thomas, 52, from Queens Crescent, was locked up at Swindon Magistrates Court yesterday (14/09). He swiped over £130 worth of booze from Tesco’s Emery Gate store just two days earlier.
Suspended Sentence Activated
Thomas was already on a suspended sentence for thefts dating back to 2019. This latest crime triggered his immediate jail time – 18 weeks behind bars.
Police Condemn Serial Shoplifter
PC Jack Cassell blasted Thomas: “He’s a prolific offender, well known to store staff for repeated shoplifting. This time, he used a tool to remove security tags, hid bottles of spirits in his jacket, and walked out without paying.”
“I’m glad he’s been given a custodial sentence. This behaviour simply won’t be tolerated.”
